ADULT CONFIRMATION
The Adult Confirmation process is a fun interactive opportunity for Catholics who have not had the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Confirmation to complete their full initiation into the Catholic Church.
This 17-week process emphasizes the basics of Catholic teaching respecting the adult audience’s many concerns, questions and responsibilities. Some of the topics include the Trinity, Sacraments, Prayer, Vocations and Morality. The last session is a Retreat Day with the Candidates and Sponsors. Sessions are weekly, Wednesday evenings 7 – 9 p.m., during January – May. The Confirmation celebration takes place in May.
